boost::program_options::detail::make_vector class removed?

[anonymous]

Boost v 1.66 contains this in program_options/detail/parsers.hpp

namespace boost { namespace program_options {

namespace detail {

template<class charT, class Iterator> std::vector<std::basic_string<charT> > make_vector(Iterator i, Iterator e) {

std::vector<std::basic_string<charT> > result; Some compilers don't have templated constructor for vector, so we can't create vector from (argv+1, argv+argc) range for(; i != e; ++i)

result.push_back(*i);

return result;

}

}

This is not present in v 1.67, and the release notes make no mention of the change. Was it left out inadvertently? Moved to a different library?

Hi,

this function has been removed in commit ​https://github.com/boostorg/program_options/commit/110772c0ac672ef2972d251886215bb89933bf00

It was part of the detail namespace, and Boost convention is that content of the detail namespace should not be relied on and can be changed without warnings. Did that cause any problems?

A program (from other sources) I was compiling made a direct call to that class. I've informed the author of the change.
